Major social housing development opens on Brougham St
Happy Friday neighbours,
After living in emergency accommodation for nearly a year, Amanda Jackson-Brown will move into a new home next week – and she cannot wait.
The 51-year-old Christchurch woman will be one of the first tenants to move into Brougham Village, a new 90-home community housing project developed by Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT).
Jackson-Brown, a former beauty therapist who has suffered from mental health and addiction issues, said moving into the one-bedroom unit would allow her to get her life back on track.
The Brougham St development is the largest ever commissioned by OCHT and replaces 89 social housing units demolished following the 2011 earthquakes.
